Overview
- Head coach Stefan Horngacher said Philipp Raimund broke a pre‑agreed equipment plan by using the wrong ski in the probedurchgang before the large‑hill event, a move TV analyst Sven Hannawald called highly unusual.
- After finishing ninth on the large hill, Raimund was confirmed by the DSV to partner Andreas Wellinger in Monday’s inaugural Olympic Super Team, the last ski jumping event in Predazzo.
- Raimund rebuked taunting spectators referencing Domen Prevc’s past controversy, calling the behavior unpleasant and insisting he had nothing to do with it.
- The IBU scheduled a ceremony in Antholz to hand Germany the retroactive 2014 men’s biathlon relay gold following Russia’s disqualification for doping, with Austria and Norway also receiving reallocated medals.
- DOSB official Olaf Tabor reported 13 medals at halftime with luge and skeleton leading the way; skeleton pilots Axel Jungk (silver) and Christopher Grotheer (bronze) kept celebrations muted ahead of the team race, and biathlete Philipp Horn placed 11th in the pursuit.
